A couple of hours after a meal, and you’re noticing your hunger starting to kick-in again…it’s snack time! Snacks are an excellent way to satisfy hunger between meals, prevent overeating at the next meal, provide your body with a boost of energy, and promote blood sugar control.
Remember to portion and adjust accordingly to what you uniquely need to stay nourished between meals. You may need/want one snack, two snacks, none or all of the snacks. You may just want a slice of banana bread, and that’s ok too! Listen in to your body’s cues. A lunch of snacks is also a fun and easy way to create a quick meal.
Generally you want to include some protein & fiber when building snacks as they tend to promote sustained energy until the next meal, which is especially good on those days when your to-do’s are a bit too long. Be sure to stay hydrated between meals as well.
10 Simple, Satisfying Snacks:
- Guacamole with tortilla chips & red pepper slices
- Hummus & carrots, cucumbers
- Cottage cheese or yogurt with berries, add nuts/granola for extra crunch!
- Cheddar cheese & whole grain crackers
- Peanut butter & apple slices
- Trail mix & air-popped popcorn
- Grapes & cheese stick
- Tuna fish & whole wheat crackers
- ½ of a peanut butter & banana sandwich
- Cherry tomato & mozzarella bites
Enjoy!
